PENCIL-TOP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 2, 1917.

Application led February 25, 1916. Serial No. 80,461.

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an attachment for pencils and has for itsprimary object to provide an attachment by means of which suitableindicating and advertising means may be supported upon a pencil.

An object of the invention is to provide a device for supportingindicating or advertising means upon a pencil in such a position as tobe readily viewed by the Writer.

Another object of this invention is to provide an attachment soconstructed as to detachably support indicating or advertising means orboth.

With these and other objects in View, the

- invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts aswill be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings and pointed Out in vthe claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings z-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the attachment shownapplied to a pencil; Fig. 2 is a view on an enlargedy scale. Fig. 3 is avertical sectional view. Fig. 4; is-a horizontal sectional view.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral l designates a pencil to one endof which is applied the attachment 2. .Y

At the start, I wish it to be understood that although the attachment isshown applied to the usual rubber end of the pencil, I wish it to beunderstood that the same may be applied to the sharpened end of thepencil so as to protect the point during the idle periods ofthe pencil.

The attachment comprisesa casing 3 having a partition dividing theinterior of the casing into a card compartment and a compartment l1 thatreceives one end of the v pencil. A slot 4 is formed in two oppositeside walls 5 and 6 of the card compartment, the slot extending throughone end of the casing. In this particular instance I have shown slidablymounted in the card compartment a plurality of cards 7 all of which withthe exception of an end card has printed thereon the 'days of the month.This mentioned end card 8V has printed thereon any suitableadvertisement.

For preventing displ-acement of the cards,

I provide a cap 9 completely inclosing one end of the casing which isprovided with inclosedslots as indicated at l0. From this arrangement itwill be seen that the walls of the card compartment are prevented frombending out of place, while at the same time any suitable indicia uponthe cards may be visible through the slots l0.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with theaccompanying-drawing, it should be apparent that I-provide a deviceWhich is admirably adapted for the purposel for which it is intended,that the device is simple, durable and eicient lof construction, andthat the device may-be manufactured and sold at a comparatively lowcost.

What I claim isz- A pencil attachment comprising a plu'` other receivingone end of the pencil, two opposite walls of Said card compartment beingformed with slots extending through one end of the casing, and a capcompletely inclosing the card end of the casing and having inclosedslots arranged parallel to I portions of the-slots in said side walls..

In testimony whereof I aiiix my slgnature in presence of two witnesses.
